Hyperon-nucleons interactions constructed by two frameworks, the Kyoto-Niigata SU$_6$ quark model and the chiral effective field theory, are compared by investigating equivalent interactions in a low-momentum space and in addition by calculating hyperon single-particle potentials in the lowest-order Brueckner theory in symmetric nuclear matter. Two descriptions are shown to give similar matrix elements in most channels after renormalizing high momentum components. Although the range of the $\Lambda N$ interaction is different in two potentials, the $\Lambda$ single-particle potential in nuclear matter is very similar. The $\Sigma$-nucleus and $\Xi$-nucleus potentials are also found to be similar. These predictions are to be confronted with forthcoming experimental data.
